Almost all countries are finally open for tourism! I hope that in 2023 you can safely travel to some new places in our beautiful world. We'll begin with the Portuguese island of Madeira, located in Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. Madeira is often called the Hawaii Europe, because the island was born of volcanic origins. If you love hiking or just relaxing on the beach, Madeira is the place for you. Punta du Sol is a great place for swimming. There is no sand, only smooth Boulders, but the ocean is amazing to swim in. A great place to go cliff jumping is Pico de Arriero, one of the tallest points on the island. The elevation is so high up until you will often be in or above the clouds. The hiking there is a sight to see. The trails are so well maintained, you get some of the most phenomenal views. Pico Dugato is nice if you're up for an adventure.

Being fluent in the Spanish Language is a real goal of mine, and in my efforts to improve, I've taken my shot at communicating with a range of Hispanics. In the midst of my practice, I find myself unsure of my statements more often than I ever am. It's been quite a humbling experience with many mixed messages. I've come to understand that as a man who aspires to learn a language different than my own, I am vulnerable. I'm taking on completely new terminology and rules of speech, and I can only trust that my studies are leading me in the right direction.
